Types of Events You Can Organise

Here you will find examples of events you can organize. Events are not limited to this list. If you have a creative idea, propose it in the event proposal form.

During the early stages of the program, we will focus on smaller and more tight knit community events. As the program evolves we can explore larger events like Hackathons. However, if you have an idea for a bigger event, propose it and it will be reviewed. The three main categories of events you can organize:

1. IRL General Events - Local Meetups & Networking Informal and non technical gatherings to foster community connections and discuss blockchain, Avalanche and related topics. Think local meetups, game nights, networking in a fun casual environment where people can engage and network. Once you have established a local Avalanche community that you know actively partake in the ecosystem, community/builders dinners and drinks are a great way to have fun and build a connection.

2. IRL Tech Events - Workshops & Seminars Educational sessions focusing on Avalanche technology, blockchain, and development tutorials. These can be organized in local universities or you can find a local space that will allow you to host the event. For example local blockchain clubs, universities, enterprise incubators, co-working spaces etc.

3. Virtual Events Virtual events to reach a broader audience, focusing on various aspects of the Avalanche ecosystem are great (eg: a twitter space about an upcoming NFT mint on Avalanche). You can also organise virtual events for the Avalanche community that do not necessarily have to be Avalanche focused but bring the community together to have a fun time and build that connection (eg: gaming nights in Discord, poker tournaments)

Find Existing Local Communities To Integrate Avalanche

It’s helpful if a location in your community already has potential attendees for your event. For example in a university you will have a number of classes that you can promote your tech workshop to. A local blockchain club will already have a community of people interested in blockchain so it will be easy to host something like an “introduction To Avalanche’ event followed by drinks. A co-work space will have a flow of digital nomads and people who work online, many of whom may be interested in blockchain. Try to identify spaces in your local community that already have a Web3 community for you to integrate Avalanche in to.
